October 2009 Edition--Jackson Special

Hello everyone. Please excuse the delay as I was waiting for the blessed event before posting.


By now I'm sure you all know Tracy and Jennifer are the proud parents of Jackson William Skidmore, born 9:21 am mst 19.5 inches 6 lbs 9 oz. As Tracy himself put it:






"Son, wife and I are home. What an experience. I hate to say it but I forgot all about what goes into have a baby. Jen and Jackson are doing well. Jackson is a living, breathing, crying, sleeping boob-sucking, and pooping machine! Gotta love it!"



A big Lansbery congratulations is in order!

Lansbery Ledger September 09 Family Camp Edition

Well, the 2009 family camp is in the books, and what a spectacle it was! Although the group was smaller then year's past some of the campers pulled more then their own weight; like Bruce for example. Lucky for Julie she's been working out.

And of course, what family camp would be complete without a little blood? Thanks Bill!

Last but not least another wedding will be taking place shortly. Sally and Mark will tie the noose--I mean knot--on Wednesday 9/9/09. They were kind enough to give a sneak peek of the honeymoon. The best of times to the two of you.

These people were arrested for disturbing the peace. A group mugshot was taken for posterity.

The meeting was held on Saturday and the majority voted to return to Clyde Holliday next year. Also during the meeting a story was read aloud about some brave americans in a foreign country. Did I say brave? I meant Kay and Tom, a.k.a. "Los Abuelos Desperados."

2009 Family camp

In a few short weeks it will be time once again for Family Camp. Clyde Holiday State Park, just west of John Day is once again the location. Bring your raffle gifts!

Reunion Archive

These pictures show the first reunion from 1919, and the 1953 reunion. I'm much too young to be in either of them. I do see some of you "older" folk in them
though.

Lansbery/Sankey reunion Surprise

Dave and Sue get "hitched."

Jack Scott announced that that there would be a surprise after the group photos. The surprise turned out to be a wedding! Congratulations to the happy couple.

July Ledger-- 2009

Hello and Happy fourth of July to you all. I'm still working with this format, hence the late delivery of the July edition. I'm sorry but there won't be any photos at this time as things aren't as user friendly as I'd like at the moment. Call it: Subject Unable to Extract.



This month we say happy birthday to:


Phil Zaklan--7/4


Karli Wilbur--7/6


Tiffany Thompson--7/11


Mercedes Hobeck--7/12


Jesse Hedrick--7/18


Maria Hobeck--7/22



It looks like there'll be plenty of cake at the Hobeck's this month!

Still no news from Yuma, although I heard rumor the border patrol has stepped up is surveillance.

Family Camp is the first weekend in September, again at Clyde Holiday State Park near John Day. Wayne slipped a five to the Pac-10 scheduling committee and the U of O and Boise State will meet on Sep. 3, right in the middle of camp time. Thanks Wayne!

As I mentioned in a prior post seeing the Ironman from a spectators POV was very interesting. I have a greater appreciation for the volunteers that make it all happen. I also have a greater appreciation for black bean burgers at The Beacon and have perfected the recipe. Hey, maybe that could be my meal contribution for camp. All in favor?

Well, since none of you robbed a 7-11, or got caught streaking this will end the July edition. Have a great month.
